My Cool New Chess T-Shirt & Pants (w/ pictures!)

Submitted by erik on Mon, 03/09/2009 at 4:28pm.

I'll be honest - I'm a pretty generic-dressing guy. I hate shopping, and I don't like spending crazy amounts on something that I am likely going to spill hot sauce on within a week. So my wardrobe mostly consists of white t-shirts from costco and jeans on sale.

This year I decided to change that part of my life - I want to wear stuff that I enjoy! One thing I wanted to do was experiment with different hairstyles and facial hair (see picture for beard :D). I'm also getting some fun new shirts that I like! My second purchase was actually a sweet new shirt from Endgame Clothing - a chess shirt! When I first saw Endgame Clothing ads I was a little skeptical - trying to mainstream chess in a fashionable way? But then I saw the shirts and hey, they were cool! They definitely fit in with what cool dudes these days wear (I guess I need a TapOut shirt too!??). :) 

Anyway, I got this shirt and wore it around New York last week when out there to visit friends (it was cold - thus the hat). I felt so cool in the shirt I even left my jacket open a little so people would notice my cool chess shirt (fashion over function for the week...).

If you're looking for some hip chess shirts, check out Endgame Clothing. They have a handful of styles - find one you like. I did!

I also wanted to get some pants that  I actually look good in, so I bought two pair of Bonobos pants - my wife really likes the way I look in these!)

110 bucks for pants, too steep for me.

You said nothing about the knitted hat. Nothing;)

I just saw an ad for that shirt too. It had Akobian on it so I was interested enough to click it. After seeing the shirt, I knew I wanted to buy it. Unfortunately, the others are too provocative for my preferences.

Anyway, you look good. Cool

Instead of "TapOut", make it a "TipKing" shirt and you're golden, bro.

Nice shirt, thanks for the shopping tip... Not so for the hat, though... Reminds me of my long-ago, once-upon-a-time childhood in Michigan... But I guess when in New York, do as the New Yorkers do... Cool

You look good. Except with the hat. Don't wear the hat.

The skully needs a bit of work. The toque (I'm Canadian, eh?) looks like something I wore in 1937.

Man up and get the shirt with the queen on it. Tongue out

I am just joking. My wife would kill me if she saw that shirt. Probably wouldn't have a job for long either.

Looking good with that chess shirt. By the way, is that a bishop or a king?
